Recently met with a gent from China who will stay in Penasco for 6 Mo. or so. He is here as a representative of a company in China which is buying seafood for export to China. The large , recently opened, building on the right side of the street at the entry to the Malecon is the local processor and exporter. Good for Penasco !!:mexico::mexico::mexico:

Well when the sea is fished out we won't have to worry about it anymore. I'm gonna shore fish for some extra money !! Think they will buy those little bass?

They probably would... I remember growing up on the Illinois River and people would walk the beaches picking up dead carp to sell to the smokehouses in Chicago... LoL... they already had a head start on being sundried...

Heres a factoid related to seafood. Did you know that the oyster farm at El Barco run by 6 women and their families for the past 30 years provide oysters to Hermosillo restaurants and Obregon Restaurants because of their high quality and taste? How many per week you may wonder? try right at 10,000 oysters per week that get shipped from one cooperative. Amazed me but it is an awesome coop. When I take tour groups there even people who dont eat oyster, eat these oysters. They are that good. Try it sometime!

If a Mexican went to china and tried to compete with sea Food brokers they'd have him jailed in seconds,,,

This is not a new thing. I can't seem to loacate the article I read once. It talked about Chinese fishing boats sailing all the way into the Sea of Cortez. There were so many of them, that is was not long before they had nearly fished out the entire shimp population. The Mexican Gov at that time put a stop to that to let the poplulation recover.
Then they passed a "law" that only mexican owned shrimp boats were allowed and only at certain times of the year. It may be good for the economy, but dont let them get greedy.

I don't think Mexico has a trade agreement with China, thats probably why it is being brokered by Koreans, but I was also told that chano, what I know as a croaker or kind of a garbage fish here ( to me they are delicious) is worth more per kilo in Korea than shrimp is worth per kilo in Rocky Point. My next door neighbor in San Felipe buys chano all day long from the panga fisherman and then every night sends a loaded truck to the Koreans based in Ensenada. Wont be long before they are all fished out. Todd the boats years ago were Japanese long liners, one boat when boarded by the mexicans, had thousands of pounds of blue marlin hidden under the legal catch fish and that was the beginning of the end for the Japanese.

I read years ago, thats how Ray's got so popular as a food source because everything else was fished out. I remember going to my brother in laws house in San Felipe and seeing huge pieces of Manta Ray being hung and dried on lines in the backyard.
